  • I’m guessing you’re talking about the client, right? The data folder on the server shouldn’t be touched or modified, except by Nextcloud.

    Check who owns the folder. I’ll assume the folder is at ~/Nextcloud, but if it’s not, just substitute in the path to the Nextcloud folder.

    You can check who owns the folder using ls:

    ls -la ~/Nextcloud
    

    This should give you something like:

    drwx------ 10 user group    4096 2024-03-04 00:00 Nextcloud
    

    Where the word “user” is in the above example should be the name of the owner of the directory. Where the word “group” is should be the group.

    If either is root, check to make sure the Nextcloud client is not running as root (using sudo or otherwise).

    Otherwise, give yourself ownership of the directory:

    sudo chown username:username -R ~/Nextcloud
    

    Replace username with your username.

My MediaWiki instance still works, just not Nextcloud. Not sure why this happens and not sure if it also happens to other people.

    For comparison, it is running on a Contabo VPS M
